Paul, I'd like to applaud you for a sensible approach to the web accessibility policy issue -- an accessibility policy needs to be more than simply "all the p1s" or "all the p1s and p2s" or "all the checkpoints, period", and instead has to consider each one individually and arrive at the best solution for your site and your needs. Priority 1s are must-haves, but every organization should carefully consider the P2s and the P3s as well. Paul, did Utah State look at any of the P3s? Some of them are so trivially easy to do (e.g. LANG="en" on the HTML tag) that doing them is simply a matter of decent templates, while others involve a greater degree of work. -- Kynn Bartlett mailto:kynn@hwg.org President, HTML Writers Guild http://www.hwg.org/ AWARE Center Director http://aware.hwg.org/
